I can show you the world: shining, shimmering, splendid.
Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder,
over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world, a dazzling place I never knew
But when I’m way up here it’s crystal clear
That now I’m in a whole new world with you

Disney’s Alladin “Brand new world”

It’s breathtaking, and yet so very saddening. It’s marvellous and sparkly new, but it hits you like a kick in the nuts. Of course I knew it was going to happen. We all did. The shattering. But just as you know psychokiller is going to rip the blonde girl’s head off as she trips over a cable, you still jump out of the couch, for other people to scratch your remains off the ceiling. Well… I’ve cried.
The first zone that got my attention was Darkshore, and cold shivers rolled down my back. I honestly don’t care what you’re supposed to think of me being emotional after seeing my digital empirium crash and burn, but I blinked away a couple of tears, mourning the death of all the NPC’s that once gave my baby nelfs a mission and purpose in life.

I quested upto a point where I was supposed to find Volcor’s lost Bear pet: Grimclaw. All the way from the new splendors of Lor’danel to the ruins of Auberdine, I crossed my fingers, hoping that the cute, white, clever bear would be allright. And there he was… lying on the floor lifelessly. My heart stopped beating and my mood sank straight into my shoes.

We managed to save him. Grimclaw, legend of the Lost Master questline of Darkshore, the real first chain to bite yourself into as a brave, fierce level 15 nightelf. *gulp*. But I still walked around Auberdine quietly, kneeling down the bodies of the lost NPC’s. It doesn’t quite hit you until you withness their deaths. Barithras Moonshade, Elissa Starbreeze, Shaldyn, Terenthis but especially Thundris Windweaver and Volcor. They’re gone, forever :/

Anyway, we moved on. And I was pleasantly surprised walking into this old stranger! Malfurion Stormrage! So much lore, so many stories, such a druid legend… and now he finally appears in an active questline for us to complete. Happy hour!

Last but not least, we also stumbled upon these unfortunate gnomes, and I’ll gladly admit it. It made me chuckle, seeing the little wimps chained and enslaved in the back of the carriage.

Welcome to my crib!

Ello, I'm Sumanhi. I play a Nelf resto druid on Dragonblight EU and a small arsenal of healer alts. I've been a resto since early Vanilla so it's pretty fair to assume I've healed a lot. A whole lot. And then some more. Topics on this blog can cover pretty much anything related to WoW and pie.
